Scania R 480 - Frehner

This Scania R 480 with Palfinger PK100002 loading crane from Frehner from Schwellbrunn (CH) stood parked along the swiss highway. It is the biggest truck in Frehner's fleet.

The truck has a 10x4 drive line. Between the axles are various storage compartments made. Directly behing the second axle is the tank made.

In front of the second axle are the front outriggers for the loading crane made. The clamshell can be attached to the loading crane, to do smaller excavtion jobs on difficult spots or to dump gravel into gardens.

For a better load spreading and to extend the load capacity of the truck was a steerable pusher axle required behind the double axles. Because of the crane on the back of the truck is the length of the load restricted. To extend the reach of the Palfinger, is the crane fitted with a jib.

The two smaller rear outriggers (behind the towing coupling) can extend one meter backwards. On the crane is a small hoist winch made. The reach of the crane is about 30 meters. The loading crane has a capacity of 82 ton/meter and the crane's max. load is 30 tonnes.
